Alexander Vindman, an import from the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic who zealously criticizes President Donald Trump, ran as a Democrat to represent Florida in the U.S. Senate. Despite his apparent “Election Day survival kit,” Vindman’s political career did not survive Tuesday. He failed miserably in the Democratic primary — and the president has made sure to let everyone know about it.
“The most gratifying loss last night.”
Vindman, a former Kamala Harris booster who served as a star witness in the impeachment inquiry regarding Trump’s July 25, 2019, phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was trounced by Florida state Rep. Angela Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. With over 95% of votes counted, the Associated Press showed Nixon leading Vindman by 56.1% to 43.9%.
After his defeat, Vindman stated: “Who would’ve ever thought that a Jewish refugee would make it to the U.S. Army, to the White House, and to becoming a candidate for the U.S. Senate?” he said. “Only in America is that possible, and it would not have been possible without you, Florida.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision to engage with Donald Trump on July 25, 2019, has been condemned as reckless and dangerous.
